A Russian reconnaissance aircraft briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers stated on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller airplane violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish defense ministry stated in an announcement, including that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the general safety scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must always be respected.”
